It looks like we’re going to have leftover brazilian walnut (ipe) flooring (5/8″ thick, prefinished) and besides keeping some on hand for future repairs, would like to try to do something creative with it and thought we might seal the underside and ends and build planter boxes with it to have outside. I see ipe is used outdoors for decks, is this totally a bad idea? I just don’t have enough to probably sell or give to anyone, and don’t want to throw anything away. Maybe you have other ideas? thanks!
